After undergoing a CT Scan‚ doctors found an acute blood clot and diagnosed her with May-Thurner Syndrome‚ which is a rare condition that disrupts blood flow. An exact cause is unknown‚ but dehydration‚ travel‚ and extended periods of sitting have all been identified as potential factors in causing symptoms of May-Thurner Syndrome.

After taking time to rest as recommended by doctors‚ she is expected to make a full recovery with no significant concerns for her long-term health and no hindrance to her ability to perform her duties as a Congresswoman‚” the statement continued. From the New York Post: May-Thurner syndrome is a rare vascular condition in which an artery compresses the left iliac vein in the pelvis‚ blocking off blood flow from the leg back to the heart‚ according to UPMC. Surgery is performed on some patients to add a stent‚ a small tube of metal mesh‚ to restore blood flow by opening up the blocked vein. In some cases‚ patients may not have symptoms‚ but over time could develop swelling‚ venous ulcers and blood clots that could lead to life-threatening problems including strokes and heart attacks.

If a blood clot in your leg breaks off and travels to your lungs‚ you can experience a pulmonary embolism‚ which is life-threatening. “We successfully performed surgery on the Congresswoman this morning and expect her to make a full recovery‚” Bade said. “Patients with May-Thurner Syndrome who undergo the procedure to restore blood flow are able to live and work just as they have in the past after a brief recovery.” Boebert represents Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District and is now seeking the Congressional seat in the 4th district.

Biden and Trump easily won primaries in Rhode Island‚ Connecticut‚ New York and Wisconsin‚ adding to their delegate hauls for their party conventions this summer. Their victories‚ while hardly surprising‚ nevertheless offer clues about enthusiasm among base voters for the upcoming 2020 rematch that has left a majority of Americans underwhelmed. Biden has faced opposition from activists encouraging Democrats to vote against him to send a message of disapproval for his handling of the war between Israel and Hamas‚ and some Republican Trump critics are still voting for rivals who have dropped out. “Uncommitted” in Rhode Island and Connecticut was getting a similar share of the Democratic vote as protest campaigns in Minnesota and Michigan‚ which got 19% and 13% respectively. In Wisconsin‚ “uninstructed delegation” was getting a smaller share. Finally‚ Trump secured the win in the Delaware GOP primary. The state did not hold votes Tuesday night since only one candidate qualified for the primary.

The future for the NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs‚ the defending Super Bowl champions‚ and the MLB’s Kansas City Royals is unclear after Jackson County voters rejected a sales tax measure. “Jackson County voters rejected a sales tax to pay to renovate Arrowhead Stadium for the Chiefs and build a new stadium for the Royals‚” NBC Sports reports. The measure failed by a 78‚352 to 56‚606 vote. Chiefs team president Mark Donovan has threatened the team could leave if the measure didn’t pass. The Chiefs may be heading for the exit in Kansas City after Jackson County voters rejected a sales tax to pay for renovations on Arrowhead Stadium. The vote failed 78‚352 to 56‚606. Chiefs president has threatened to leave if the vote failed. https://t.co/pdWcJRJ1BO — Citizen Free Press (@CitizenFreePres) April 3‚ 2024 NBC Sports reports: Chiefs team president Mark Donovan threatened the team could leave if the measure didn’t pass. It could have been an attempt merely to scare voters into extending the 3/8th cent stadium sales tax. It didn’t work‚ though‚ and now the Chiefs’ future really is in doubt. “We respect the process. We respect the decision of the Jackson County voters‚” Donovan said in a prepared statement Tuesday night. “We’re disappointed. We feel we put forth the best offer for Jackson County. We were ready to extend the longstanding partnership that the teams have enjoyed with this county. This is important. . . . We will do and look to do what is in the best interest of our fans and our organization as we move forward.” Voters in Jackson County have rejected the public funding proposal for the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals’ stadium projects. The decision leaves the long-term future of both teams in the jurisdiction very much in question.

More than 58% of voters ultimately rejected the plan‚ which would have replaced three-eighths of a cent sales tax that has been paying for the upkeep of Truman Sports Complex — the home for more than 50 years to Kauffman and Arrowhead Stadiums — with a similar tax that would have been in place for the next 40 years. The Royals‚ who had pledged at least $1 billion from ownership for their project‚ wanted to use their share of the tax revenue to help fund a $2 billion-plus ballpark district. The Super Bowl champion Chiefs‚ who had committed $300 million in private money‚ would have used their share as part of an $800 million overhaul of Arrowhead Stadium. “We’re deeply disappointed as we are steadfast in our belief that Jackson County is better with the Chiefs and the Royals‚” Sherman said. “As someone whose roots run deep in this town‚ who has been a dedicated fan and season-ticket holder for both of these teams‚ and now leading a remarkable ownership group.” Donovan said the Chiefs would do “what is in the best interest of our fans and our organization as we move forward.” That could mean many things: The Chiefs could try again with a reworked plan more agreeable to voters‚ change their entire funding approach to include more private investment or listen to offers from competing cities and states — such as Kansas‚ just across the state line to the west — that would provide the public funding they desire.

The poll of the election’s main battlegrounds shows Trump holding leads of between 2 and 8 percentage points in six states—Pennsylvania‚ Michigan‚ Arizona‚ Georgia‚ Nevada and North Carolina—on a test ballot that includes third-party and independent candidates. Trump holds similar leads when voters are asked to choose only between him and Biden. The one outlier is Wisconsin‚ where Biden leads by 3 points on the multiple-candidate ballot‚ and where the two candidates are tied in a head-to-head matchup.
